Place it at the end of a build-up, then follow it immediately with a pew pew blast for the shot itself. If the hit needs extra weight, add a vine boom right after the impact to close the sequence.
About this sound
This is a roughly 12-second laser charging sound effect tied to Astro Doggernaut, with a focused sci-fi energy hum that suggests a weapon powering up for a shot. It feels tense and anticipatory, like the quiet second before something big fires, and it works best when that held-back energy is the point.
